Former Leeds United hero Tony Dorigo has pointed out a moment that left Sean Longstaff \u201cabsolutely livid\u201d during the damaging defeat against Burnley. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Farke<\/a> has plenty to think about after Leeds looked toothless as they slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Burnley. <\/p>\n

There were few winners on a difficult afternoon for Leeds, with Brenden Aaronson becoming a lightning rod<\/a> for criticism after missing the chance to draw Leeds level in the first half. <\/p>\n

Noah Okafor could return<\/a> for the game against West Ham, which would boost Leeds\u2019 creativity in the final third. However, Farke will be concerned with how easily his side gave away possession to their opponents in a disjointed display. <\/p>\n

Midfielder Sean Longstaff<\/a> was certainly not happy with his side\u2019s lack of control over the ball, and Tony Dorigo<\/a> spotted him letting his teammates know exactly how he felt.<\/p>\n

There was a passage of play shortly before the hour mark, where neither side looked to have Premier League<\/a> quality as the ball pinballed around the middle of the park with no one able to take control. <\/p>\n

This culminated in Jack Harrison dawdling in possession with his back to the Burnley goal, taking one too many touches and allowing Burnley man Jaidon Anthony<\/a> to nick in and steal possession. <\/p>\n

Anthony then drew a foul from Ethan Ampadu<\/a> to retain the ball for the home side. <\/p>\n

Speaking on the LUTV coverage of the game, Dorigo spotted Longstaff\u2019s furious reaction to this moment, stating: \u201cYou see, Longstaff is absolutely livid as well with everyone there. You know, why are you taking two, three, four touches? <\/p>\n

\u201cMove it quickly. Don\u2019t give them a chance. Jack there, just one, two, gets caught on the ball too easily.\u201d<\/p>\n

Longstaff is becoming a crucial part of Leeds\u2019 midfield, as one of the few players with significant Premier League experience. <\/p>\n

Leeds will need all of that nous to bounce back from their damaging defeat at Turf Moor. <\/p>\n

On a day when Anton Stach struggled in Leeds\u2019 midfield<\/a>, Longstaff proved his ever-increasing value in their relegation battle.<\/p>\n

The stats from FotMob<\/a> show the full extent of Longstaff\u2019s growing influence, as he pulled the strings in an impressive display in defeat. <\/p>\n

Longstaff took 79 touches in the midfield, making 52 successful passes at an accuracy rate of 85%. He also created four chances from three passes into the final third. <\/p>\n
